4 A White Wedding (1/2)
”Yes.” Xia Ruoxin placed a hand over her chest, and physically there was nothing. But deep inside her chest, a piece of memory was embedded; no one else knew about it. No one.
Jiang Yao reached out her hand and picked up the makeup kit. She tenderly powdered Xia Rouxin's face which made the girl smile, however, there was a look of absent-mindedness in her eyes.

”Sister, can I exchange my doll with you for that?” She pointed at the doll in Xia Ruoxin's arms which Rouxin actually also owned.
Xia Ruoxin shook her head and put the doll down. By instinct, her hand moved up to wrap the amulet with her palm. She could live without the doll even if she received a beating from her mother for it—even after her four-year-old sister made her a scapegoat.
”Sister, give it to me.” Xia Yixuan has always been a tyrant. She stood up and sprang towards Xia Ruoxin. The only thing Xia Ruoxin could do was to repeatedly retreat.
”Yixuan.” Shen Yijun hastily walked over and hugged Xia Yixuan's small frame.
Yixuan started bawling as soon as she saw Shen Yujin. ”Mom, I want the thing hanging around sister's neck. But she refused to give it to me…”
”Ruoxin, give that to Yixuan. It is her birthday today.” Shen Yijun glared at Rouxin. She thought, ” How could she be so thoughtless? She should have given that to her younger sister! ”
Xia Ruoxin's grip on her amulet tightened. Her lips were pressed into a thin line in silent protest.
